This NBC in Cologne has left a strange aftertaste at least in my mouth.
The enacting of the concepts of critical whiteness and 'power of definition' have caused distress and a in my opinion exaggerated impact on people's own definitons about themselves. Or how many German-speaking fellow activists have called it a crazy acting out of 'Identitätspolitik'.
While I don't deny that it is important to ask one's self continually questions about identity, social background, priviledge and so forth, I found it rather sad and depressing how it inhibited the collaboration, sense of community and trust on the camp itself. Anyhow, here a very thorough report on the events in the camp in German language.
